I've often wondered why Columbia didn't follow up on their RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE with a series public domain/original monster movies. Universal might have held a lock on the look of the Frankenstein monster but they certainly couldn't claim the name, and besides werewolves and vampires there are plenty of ghosties and ghoulies and zombies and other long-leggedity beasties to choose from.

I also wonder why no one ever thought to do a horror serial (yeah, I know they did one for TV in the 1970s/80s).
